Remember baby Nolan Wyatt who was training for the runDisney Diaper Dash? We shared his heart-warming story in October, and the last time we spoke with the Wyatt family they were training for the race, which is part of the Avengers Super Heroes Half Marathon Weekend at Disneyland Resort. While Nolan may not have finished first, he’s now the star in a runDisney video. Their message: “There’s always hope.”
Watch above as he trains for the Diaper Dash, meets superhero Captain America and crawls across the finish line at the happiest place on earth.
Crawling to victory
“At the start of Nolan’s Diaper Dash they announced who Nolan was, why we were there, and told a short story about Nolan’s journey,” said Julie Wyatt, Nolan’s mother. “As Nolan started his race he was surrounded by cameras and the whole crowd was cheering his name! We had an amazing time being a part of the races and are so grateful to bring awareness and a message of hope for all the congenital diaphragmatic hernia families in the world.”
